Additional Notes
Mad Truth is Casey Soma's organisation. A multimedia art project centered around the power of creative expression for improving mental health and promoting personal growth. The idea being, creative expression can be used as a remarkable tool for re-framing tragedy, trauma and mental illness in a way where these things no longer keep us from becoming our best selves but instead they can become a source of beauty, strength and resilience.

Malcolm talks to Horatio about fishing. Death of the Reprobate

Director: Joe Richardson

Year: 2024

Immortal John is dying. As his last surviving heir, you have been summoned to hear his dying wish. Will he ask you to avenge his death!? To murder all those who have wronged him!!? To bring to fruition his life long plan to topple the ruling elite from within, shattering the balance of power, and ultimately saving the world!!!? Or will he simply ask you to stop being such a shit? Only time will tell. Or me, I can tell you – It's the last one. DEATH OF THE REPROBATE is a gentle story about helping people and being a nice lad. Travel around a quiet, rural town - help the locals in their day to day tasks. Wander into the nearby woods - make idle chit-chit with a woman submerged neck-deep in a tiny pond. Climb to an idyllic viewpoint in the mountains, overlooking earth and sea and sky, the natural and the man-made, the eternal mystery held within the infinite depths of the distant horizon - help a man shoot some birds. This is a game full of slow burning simple pleasures... ...Until the Devil gets involved. Official Selection BFI London Film Festival 2025 - Games Lounge at LFF Expanded

A boardwalk in San Francisco Half Memory

Director: Ufuoma Essi

Year: 2024

Using Toni Morrison’s ‘The Site of Memory’ as a starting point for interrogation, HALF MEMORY is a languid meditation on memory, conurbations, isolation, and the histories we live among. Oscillating between years, cities, and unfolding images, the film is an examination of the present as an artefact of the past. Shot on Super8 and filmed between the US, France and the UK over a period of years. Official Selection BFI London Film Festival 2025
